Story

Welcome to Elder Gallery of Contemporary Art, where our artists and their artworks tell stories that help us make sense of our world. Art communicates across barriers of class, culture and language. Art allows us to imagine the unimaginable, encourages us to build bridges of understanding and brings energy and creativity that enhance our lives.

Under new ownership, and with the depth of integrity and quality established by founder Larry Elder, Elder Gallery of Contemporary Art is excited to announce its grand re-opening on Friday, October 27, 2017.

We are thrilled to be the first gallery in North Carolina to offer fine glass art by nationally recognized artists Jon Kuhn, David Patchen and Marlene Rose. The gallery is also excited to introduce new contemporary two-dimensional artists, including Charles Williams and Grant Drumheller.

Elder Gallery of Contemporary Art welcomes everyone to experience the power of art. Even those among us who cannot put oil to canvas, carve stone into shape or coax molten glass into sculpture can appreciate and learn from the artist’s interpretation of the human experience. At their best, the arts strike a universal chord that suggests that we are not alone in our human experience.

Come curious.
